Without a doubt Carly proved she was capable of releasing a consistent and personal album without being sappy or sticking to a familiar formula

The girls of Fifth Harmony surprisingly released the best pop album 2015 had to offer. Although it may not be an album that separates them from other, previous, girl groups, the album offers catchy hooks and bombastic choruses that keeps the listener on their feet throughout the whole listen.

Dark-Horse Chris Stapleton released one of the most cohesive and emotionally raw albums of the year, and yet went unnoticed for most of 2015 (outside the country community). The album demonstrates Chris' ambition and talent as, not only a songwriter but a musician and true artist. Listening to 'Traveller' is like watching a document on a child's life living in the south - and he captures every moment ever so perfectly.

Carrie's most innovative and creative album to date, Carrie was finally able to create an album that was themed and consistent without ever feeling that one song was out of place. Carrie is a natural story teller, and the tales on the album will make you feel heartbreak, remorse and adrenaline - and Carrie makes sure to evoke every emotion needed to make sure you get the message behind each song.
